*** as of September 30th, 2017, [[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/tekken-7-sales-pass-2-million-copies-on-ps4-and-xb/1100-6453966/ the game sold 2 million copies]], having outsold both Capcom fighters due to the two being Main/ScrewedByTheNetwork. This would make Injustice 2, the only true competitor for the title in terms of sales, which interestingly enough also includes guest characters in its roster (in the form of [[Franchise/MortalKombat Sub-Zero, Raiden]] and Hellboy).

** Notably, this meant that the VAs who were current back in 2012 (around the ''6''/''Tag 2''-era) were only able to record grunts and fight sounds starting from ''Street Fighter X Tekken''. This was a lot more noticeable considering how that specific era saw some characters being voiced by more prominent English talent, such as Creator/LiamOBrien, Creator/PatrickSeitz, Creator/DavidVincent and Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn, as opposed to the pool of foreign voice actors taken from in Japan.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYvM8JeeO_o This collection of announcer lines taken from feom the arcade version of Tekken 4]] reveal saveral announcer calls that went unused in the final game. Noteworthy examples include a rendition of the traditional "Good Morning!" arcade bootup sound (a series tradition ever since the first game, but was ommited in 4 for some strange reason), name announcements for the entire cast of Tekken Tag Tournament (despite only a handful of them make it it in the actual game), name announcements for several prototype names for Steve (including the aforementioned Dean Earwicker), Christie and Lee's Violet persona, and, most notably, name announcements for Jinpachi Mishima and Kinjin, two characters who did not make their formal debut in the series until later installments! (''5'' for Jinpachi, ''Revolution'' for Kinjin.)

** Dragunov is often affectionately called "Sir Gay", an intentional {{Mondegreen}} of his first name (Sergei). Asuka is also referred to as "Oscar" while Bryan is referred to as "Byron" for the same reason.
